چکیده

The hypothesis that discharges from afferent nerves from muscle stretch receptors do not participate in kinesthesis has been substantiated by test of discrimination thresholds. In awake, unrestrained cats, nerve stimulation activating group I and most group II sensory fibers (from muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs) in pure muscular nerves failed to evoke sensory discrimination. Cutaneous nerve stimulation in the same animals produced sensory discrimination even below intensities required to elicit detectable nerve thresholds.

Study of Median Palmar Cutaneous Nerve Involvement in a Patient with Wrist Ganglion

Background: Few reports represent palmar cutaneous nerve neuropathy in the wrist due to a ganglion cyst. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence. At ulrasonographic examination, a simple cyst was detected. Sensory response of palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve was absent at the affec...

Extraction of Sensory part of Ulnar Nerve Signal Using Blind Source Separation Method

A recorded nerve signal via an electrode is composed of many evokes or action potentials, (originated from individual axons) which may be considered as different initial sources. Recovering these primitive sources in its turn may lead us to the anatomic originations of a nerve signal which will give us outstanding foresights in neural rehabilitations. Accordingly, clinical interests may be r...

Effects of nerve growth factor on the survival and synaptic function of Ia sensory neurons axotomized in neonatal rats.

Sensory neurons with small diameters (A delta and C cells) are known to be responsive to exogenous NGF even at postnatal stages. We have examined whether large Group Ia sensory neurons (A alpha cells) arising from muscle spindles are also responsive to NGF in neonatal rats. For this purpose, monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) were evoked in spinal motoneurons by Group Ia mu...

  Received: 31 Dec, 2008 Accepted: 22 July, 2009   Abstract  The sciatic nerve, posterior cutaneus nerve of thigh, and inferior gluteal nerve are branches of sacral plexus. They leave the pelvis via greater sciatic foramen and arises in gluteal region in infra piriformis fossa. The sciatic nerve usually divides at the upper angle of the popliteal fossa to common peroneal and tibial nerves. The...

Sensory integration in presynaptic inhibitory pathways during fictive locomotion in the cat.

The aim of this study is to understand how sensory inputs of different modalities are integrated into spinal cord pathways controlling presynaptic inhibition during locomotion. Primary afferent depolarization (PAD), an estimate of presynaptic inhibition, was recorded intra-axonally in group I afferents (n = 31) from seven hindlimb muscles in L(6)-S(1) segments during fictive locomotion in the d...
